Sup guys,
In March I dropped out of my PhD program and thought "**** this", but then I felt lost so applied for a new program at a new school. I got in and am scheduled to start in 02/13.
Problem is I am not wholly committed to the thing. I just saw a 'time table' detailing my commitments to 2017 (earliest). Plus its expensive, and I find my field of research (proposed, US-Pak ties) pretty boring. Maybe cool for a MA thesis, but not 100,000 word PhD stuff.
My only problem is that I have no alternatives. There are no jobs out there for me - at all. I am bored as hell and see university as 'something to do' but cant be 100% committed to it. Dont want to drop out again - waste of time and money.
Advice?
